MOSCOW — The defection-
riddled Bolshoi ballet returned
home from its month-long American
tour Monday, stripped of three
principal dancers, including a man
and wife who were granted political
asylum Sunday night in the United
States.
Leonid Kozlov and his ballerina
j wife Valentina Kozlova, both prin
cipal dancers, defected in Los
Angeles, where the Bolshoi wound
up a traumatic four-week U.S. tour.
Kozlov had taken over several of
the lead roles in the Bolshoi tour
since the Aug. 22 defection of in
New York of superstar Alexander
Godunov.
The couple slipped away from
Soviet security officers in the confu
sion of the close of the Bolshoi’s final
U.S. performance — “Romeo and
Juliet.”
They notified police they wished
to remain in the United States and
Immigration and Naturalization au
thorities said the request for politi
cal asylum was granted.
They were reported to be in pro
tective custody by federal agents at
an unknown location Tuesday.
It was not known what effect the
defections would have on future
tours by the Bolshoi company, but it
clearly underscored dissension

among those dancers who feel
stifled by the Bolshoi’s rigid adher
ence to classical ballet.
None of the major defections over
the past 20 years — including top
Kirov dancers Rudolf Nureyev and
Mikhail Baryshnikov — have made
the jump for political reasons. All
have stressed that they sought more
artistic freedom in the West through
the opportunity to dance more often
and to try undertake roles in
modern ballets.
Godunov, formerly the troupe’s
lead dancer, was the first Bolshoi
dancer to defect. Godunov said he
made his decision on the spur of the
moment, and later asked that his
wife, ballerina Ludmila Vlasova,
also be allowed to stay.
But Vlasova elected to return to
the Soviet Union, and after a tense
three-day standoff at Kennedy Air
port during which U.S. officials
tried to determine if she was return
ing voluntarily, she was allowed to
leave for Moscow.
Her detention drew strong pro
tests from Soviet authorities and her
decision to return was trumpeted as
proof that she was harassed by
American officials.
The Soviet press also hinted that
Godunov had been spirited off
under strange circumstances.
After the Godunov defection,
Soviet authorities beefed up secu
rity and a number of dancers de
clined to attend post-performance
parties during some stops along the
tour.
Tourists warned
of guerrilla danger
United Press International
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador —
Salvadoran authorities said Tuesday
two women guerrillas shot and
killed a policeman on the streets of
Santa Ana and were themselves
killed by other police who rushed to
the scene.
U.S. Ambassador Frank Divine
Monday warned American tourists
could be in danger if they came to
El Salvador and cited two recent
cases in which Americans were in
jured in incidents related to the
political turmoil.
The killings of the policeman and
two guerrillas Monday brought the
death toll of political violence in this
Central American nation of 4.5 mil
lion to 15 in less than two weeks.
Authorities said two women,
dressed in jeans and carrying .45-
caliber automatic weapons, shot to
death Officer Jacinto Alas Fernan
dez, 31, in Santa Ana, 40 miles west
of the capital. The two women were
shot by other policeman a few
blocks away.
Divine told reporters travel ad
visories on El Salvador were issued
this summer because “the opportu
nity for getting caught up in random
violence is increasing every day.
“The more American tourists
here, the greater the chance of los
ing one of them,” Divine said.
